HILOOP: Closed-loop Oxygen Control for High Flow Nasal Therapy
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
In patients with acute hypoxemic respiratory failure (AHRF), High Flow Nasal Therapy (HFNT) improves oxygenation, tolerance, and decrease work of breathing as compared to standard oxygen therapy by facemask. Current guidelines recommend adjusting oxygen flow rates to keep the oxygen saturation measured by pulse oximetry (SpO2) in the target range and avoid hypoxemia and hyperoxemia. The hypothesis of the study is that closed loop oxygen control increases the time spent within clinically targeted SpO2 ranges and decreases the time spent outside clinical target SpO2 ranges as compared to manual oxygen control in ICU patients treated with HFNT.

Arms and Interventions
| Arm | Intervention/Treatment |
|---|---|
| Experimental: Oxygen close-loop Four hours period where the fraction of inspired oxygen delivered will be automatically titrated based on SpO2 values. |
Device: Oxygen close-loop
The Automatic FiO2 option provides automated adjustment of the ventilator Oxygen setting to maintain the patient's SpO2 in a defined target range. When using the software option, the user defines the SpO2 target range, as well as the SpO2 emergency limits, and the device adjusts the Oxygen setting to keep the patient's SpO2 in the target range.
|
| Active Comparator: Manual FiO2 adjustment Four hours period where the fraction of inspired oxygen delivered will be manually adjusted by the healthcare personnel based on SpO2 values. |
Device: No intervention
Manual FiO2 adjustment according to SpO2 values

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Percentage of time spent in optimal SpO2 range [4 hours]
The optimal SpO2 range will be defined according to the SpO2 targets determined by the clinician.
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Percentage of time spent in sub-optimal SpO2 range [4 hours]
SpO2 values outside the optimal range but still within an acceptable limit (2-3 percent above and below the optimal range)
- Percentage of time spent out of range [4 hours]
Above or below the suboptimal limits specified at the begginning of the study
- Percentage of time with SpO2 signal available [4 hours]
Time with SpO2 signal available
